Re: Motorcycle to go with C10
I'd go with a early '70's dirt bike...
Maybe it's because I remember dirt bikes more so that street bikes being associated with these trucks back in the days when they were popular. For me the Honda Elsinore, and the Maico 250 bring back fond memories for me in the CA desert and at Newhall MC park. All while sitting on the tail gate of a Chevy drinking a soda, and the smells of two stroke and gasoline... Ahh, the good ol' days.

Re: Motorcycle to go with C10
Well I should have said the trail 70 as well.
Well that a fine looking ride there, my '73 is not as nice but it only has +/- 1200 miles and I go out a play ride with it some. My friend bought it from the original owners. He dolled it up some and I bought it from him. Quote:

Re: Motorcycle to go with C10
If you are doing a true restore to make it look 67 show room you need a 67 show room bike. A lot of people say restore and that really isn't quite what they mean. Cool idea either way though.

Re: Motorcycle to go with C10
Maybe I'm confused but almost any bike goes w/ everything.
How 'bout a same year Harley? Shovelheads get zero respect so they're cheap, and reliable if you build them with the later dare I say it factory innovations. Ok, even I laughed... |

Yeah. After years on Triumph's and Japanese bikes starting in about '66, I started the HD phase in 79. I built these guys...seems like yesterday... From the upper left, the most stock one is a 78 1/2 FX I had in..no electric start. Got squeeze bottle and some stick-on crap that rookies used to do. Lower left was the '79 FXE made into a FLH. That one beat Arlen Ness' Tail Dragger in the '93 Easyriders Bike and Tattoo Show in Vallejo. I got second. He got third. By then, he was already concentrating on Evos. Upper right is a 54 Pan in a 57 straight-leg frame. Had a mag on it. Named "Kick Till You Puke". Too far advanced one day, it put my ankle in the hospital. The Sporty I built out of a pile of parts as a cafe racer. Damned dangerous. And the HD guys laughed me off of the road. I think the lower right was the rigid pan gussied up. Funny, I can't remember. And it was only about thirty years ago. I'm slippin'. Moved from there...(last HD build was a '71 Police Special FLH...blew a rear jug of on the test ride ten miles after the rebuild) I went to Airheads, then some stocker Beemers.... Done now. But in my book, all bikes go with our trucks.

Re: Motorcycle to go with C10
CT70 for sure, great ride and classic lines. But for a black bike for your soon to be black truck, I have always loved Indians:
(not mine, but I wish)

Not only that but in my opinion if it weren't for AMF and Ronald Reagan there may not be Harley Davidson today. I remember AMF Harleys took a lot of flak.
